List of chromolithographs after Italian, German, and Flemish frescos, now on exhibition at the Athenæum gallery, Beacon Street, Boston : with sketches of the painters (abridged from F.M. [i.e. F.W.] Maynard's "Descriptive sketch of the Arundel Society.")
An 1872 Boston catalogue by Charles A. Cutter, printed by Rand, Avery, & Co., listing chromolithographs after Italian, German, and Flemish frescoes shown at the Athenaeum gallery, with painter sketches abridged from the Arundel Society. The pictured emblem is an engraved seal of the Boston Public Library, a ring of laurel wreath around a central open book flanked by two standing classical figures, with the inscription 'Trustees of the Public Library' and 'City of Boston 1852-1878'. A designer might take the laurel-wreath framing and symmetrical classical figures as a model for a civic seal or library emblem.
